I had just moved into a loft with the most beautiful kitchen I ever had, and I was trying a borscht soup recipe for the first time.
I had the cooked beets in a blender when the top came off.
By the time I turned off the blender, it looked like a crime scene investigation. There was beet spatter... everywhere. The radius was huge!
I looked like Lizzie Borden on a very bad day, or like Jackson Pollock on a very good day!

One time I ran out of dishwasher detergent. So I used the next best thing: dish soap. I figured, no problem, right? So I set the dishwasher to run and left the house for a few hours.

As many people probably know, that was clearly the wrong thing to do. Imagine this:

But on a bigger scale. There were soap suds all over the floor. It had leaked everywhere. The dishwasher was FULL of suds. It took probably four or five more washes just to get the suds out. It was a huge mess.

When we were young, my sister and I tried to hard boil eggs. In the Microwave...Bad idea. When they exploded they blew the door of the microwave open so hard it messed up the hinges. Fortunately the shape of the micro directed the blast to only one wall, but there was egg residue everywhere and to this day trace ammounts can still be found in the nooks and crannies of the cabinet doors. Mom was not amused.

Haha - so check this out. I'm about thirteen years old at the time, more than a decade ago - you know, back when I still recognized 99 percent of the songs on the Billboard charts. I'm hungry, don't care to actually cook something, and grab a Hot Pocket. Into the microwave my pepperoni-pizza treat goes, with the plastic wrapper removed and the microwavable cardboard sleeve intact, as per the directions.

I set the sucker for two minutes then go to the bathroom, leaving my yummy, frozen goodness to twirl around on the microwave's carousel.

When I come back, I smell smoke.

"Huh," I mutter. "That's weird." (At this point in my life, I am not yet a smoker. Therefore, I can actually smell things, like...smoke.)

I glance at the microwave and see a spinning, flaming Hot Pocket, complete with billowing smoke and the noxious stench of toasted chemicals and whatever else goes into a Hot Pocket.

Naturally, I blame the microwave for being defective somehow. Never mind the fact that a) the thing is practically brand new at this point, and b) it goes on to serve the entire family for years afterward without making any of THEIR food burst into flames.

Since then, I've given the kitchen a fairly-wide berth...save for the time the campus police officer showed up at my on-campus apartment to find out why my kitchen's smoke detector was blaring away at nine a.m. on a Saturday. (Smoking pancakes. Don't ask. I totally blame the defective skillet.)

This actually happened to my mom, but I was around to experience it as a child. She was cooking fresh green beans in a huge pressure cooker, and something went wrong which caused the top to literally explode off! There were green beans *everywhere* in our kitchen, or more accurately a slimy green paste made of what were formerly green beans. It was even all over the ceiling! So disgusting! It took forever to clean up.

We accidentally melted a blue plastic plate on the stove. We spent hours chipping away at the unit trying to get all the plastic off.We still haven't gotten all of it off so our largest unit is not usable right now.

Thank you venusarm. What is acetone and where do I buy it?

If you can take it apart you can clean it off with acetone. It will melt the plastic. do it outside though.

Acetone is an industrial solvent you can get at a paint/hardware store. You can also try nail polish remover as it is sometimes made of acetone.

My dishwasher broke mid-cycle. This meant that we had to remove a lot of water from the dishwasher using a cup. It was messy and aggravating.

I had a whole watermelon explode (it somehow became rotten in the center, but the outside was still hard). It covered a perfect 360 degree area up to 20 feet in all directions, including the ceiling. We found pieces of watermelon or seeds weeks later. I'm just glad I wasn't next to it when it blew.

During my nephew's birthday function , a cylinder in the kitchen caught with fire and started burning.....there were nearly 40 people inthe house...all of us ran into an old building nearby....my uncle ran into the house with a bucket and took a sand fullof it from a garden beside our house and he poured the sand on the flames and they controlled a little bit....seeing that , all of of us had done the same thing as he did and the flames were completely controlled....that is the biggest disaster i ever had in my kitchen experience.
